My Gym Workout Essentials

I love these bands! I use them to stretch and they also to assist me with pull-ups/ chin-ups. As you start your calisthenics journey these bands will help you work through the transition of less assisted weight during these upper body workouts.
Alllvocles Resistance Pull Up Bands
I originally purchased the Nordic Lifting brand but they're no longer available on Amazon.
These rings help build upper body strength, core, and joint mobility. I use these to help with my push-ups, pull-ups, dips, rows, leg raises and muscle-ups.
I love them because you can take them with you anywhere, they are easy to adjust for ease of workout transitioning.
Benefits:
- Muscle Engagement: These rings require extra stability, you will be activating your core to maintain that stability as well as other muscle groups (shoulders, forearms, core)
- Range in Motion: Using these rings for push-ups and dips allow for deeper movements which promote growth
- Progressive Difficulty: The adjustable straps are easy to modify and aid with the intensity of exercises

GHB Wooden Gymnastic Rings 1.25" Olympic
One of the affordable options on Amazon, if you're a beginner like me I recommend starting off with this.
I love the variety of exercises you can do with these as well as how easy you can put them together and take apart for storing. Might I add they are super lightweight! These are great for enhancing your push-ups.
Benefits:
- Range in Motion: Push-up bars elevate your hands which allow a deeper push-up; increasing the stretch in your chest, shoulders and tri's. Allows larger buildup of strength/ muscle over time.
- Stability: The bars offer stability rather than when we do pushups on the floor, this allows you to focus on form and control.
-Multiple Exercises: You can use these for incline and decline pushups as well as other shoulder exercises
